| Tucker No. 1010 |
Tucker No. 1010--the recent "barn find" Tucker '48 from rural Washington state--was sold by Gooding & Company today at its auction in Scottsdale, AZ for $797,500 (including buyer fees). This was well below the record prices garnered at auction for Tucker No. 1038 in 2008 ($1,017,500) and Tucker No. 1045 in 2010 ($1,127,500), but comparable to the auction price paid for Tucker No. 1041 in 2009 ($853,100). It seems (to this blogger, at least) to be a fair price given the condition of No. 1010 and the amount of work that would be needed to restore it.
